About FRSC and PIC
The Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC) was established by the Professional Regulatory Commission under the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Philippine Accountancy of Act of 2004 to assist the Board of Accountancy in carrying out its power and function to promulgate accounting standards in the Philippines. The FRSC’s main function is to establish generally accepted accounting principles in the Philippines.
The FRSC is the successor of the Accounting Standards Council (ASC). The ASC was created in November 1981 by the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) to establish generally accepted accounting principles in the Philippines. The FRSC carries on the decision made by the ASC to converge Philippine accounting standards with international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The FRSC consists of who a Chairman and members are appointed by the BOA and include representatives from the Board of Accountancy (BOA), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (FINEX), Commission on Audit (COA) and Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA). The FRSC has full discretion in developing and pursuing the technical agenda for setting accounting standards in the Philippines. Financial support is received principally from the PICPA Foundation.
The FRSC monitors the technical activities of the IASB and invites comments on exposure drafts of proposed IFRSs as these are issued by the IASB. When finalized, these are adopted as Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs). The FRSC similarly monitors issuances of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB, which it adopts as Philippine Interpretations–IFRIC. PFRSs and Philippine Interpretations–IFRIC approved for adoption are submitted to the BOA and PRC for approval.
The FRSC formed the Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC) in August 2006 to assist the FRSC in establishing and improving financial reporting standards in the Philippines. The role of the PIC is principally to issue implementation guidance on PFRSs. The PIC members are appointed by the FRSC and include accountants in public practice, the academe and regulatory bodies and users of financial statements. The PIC replaced the Interpretations Committee created by the ASC in 2000.
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs) are currently fully converged with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Unaccompanied IFRSs may be downloaded from the IASB website free of charge. Registration in the IASB website is required to access the unaccompanied IFRSs.

*In November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9 (2009), which covers the classification and measurement requirements of financial assets and was adopted by FRSC as PFRS 9 (2009) on March 8, 2010. In October 2010, the IASB finalized the classification and measurement requirements of financial liabilities and issued IFRS 9 (2010), which was adopted by FRSC on November 24, 2010 as PFRS 9 (2010). In December 2011, the IASB deferred the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 from January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2015. The FRSC followed suit on December 28, 2011. In November 2013, the IASB introduced the new hedge accounting model, removed January 1, 2015 as the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 and issued IFRS 9 (2013), which the FRSC adopted as PFRS 9 (2013) on December 17, 2013. In July 2014, the IASB finalized the impairment phase of IFRS 9, introduced limited amendments to the classification and measurement model of financial assets and issued IFRS 9 (2014). IFRS 9 (2014) was adopted by FRSC as PFRS 9 (2014) on September 10, 2014.
**On January 13, 2016, the FRSC decided to postpone the original effective date of January 1, 2016 of the said amendments until the IASB has completed its broader review of the research project on equity accounting that may result in the simplification of accounting for such transactions and of other aspects of accounting for associates and joint ventures.

The FRSC encourages the public to submit comment letters on the following proposals to the International Accounting Standards Board / IFRS Intrepretations Committee:
| Proposal | Deadline |
| Discussion Paper – Business Combinations under Common Control
In November 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (Board) published the Discussion Paper Business Combinations under Common Control. The Discussion Paper sets out the Board’s preliminary views on possible reporting requirements that would help companies provide better information about business combinations under common control. |
September 1, 2021 |
| Exposure Draft – Disclosure Requirements in IFRS Standards – A Pilot ApproachIn March 2021, the IASB issued an Exposure Draft (ED) on Disclosure Requirements in IFRS Standards – A Pilot Approach where the IASB proposes guidance for its own use when developing and drafting disclosure requirements in IFRS Standards.
In its pilot application of the guidance, amendments to IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement and IAS 19 Employee Benefits are proposed. The ultimate goal is to provide overall disclosure objectives which are supported by specific disclosure objectives and items of information for specific IFRS Standards.
